Sony, a leader in developing PTZ cameras and a long standing
leader in HD technology, is combining its strengths with the
introduction of its first high-definition PTZ camera. Joining the
popular EVI family, this unique camera allows you to take your
first step towards HD migration with the flexibility to output
analog or digital video signals – from standard definition (SD) to
full high definition (HD). Conference rooms everywhere are
making the transition to HD, and the Sony EVI-HD1 makes this
change effortless.

2-Megapixel HD CMOS Sensor

The EVI-HD1 incorporates a 1/3-type HD
CMOS sensor (a total of two million
effective pixels) providing outstanding
picture quality and high resolution images.
Wide-Range, Quiet, and Quick
Pan/Tilt Mechanism

By adopting a newly developed direct
drive motor mechanism, the EVI-HD1
camera is extremely quiet, moves smoothly
and quickly to designated positions and
can cover a wide shooting range.

Max. pan speed: 300 degrees/s
(range ± 100 degrees)

Max. tilt speed: 125 degrees/s

Multi-Format Video Outputs from
NTSC/PAL to Full HD

The EVI-HD1 provides full high-definition
video in 1080i format.
And for applications that require different
formats, the EVI-HD1 offers a full range
signals from SD to HD.
High-Quality Image Transmission
via HD-SDI

The EVI-HD1 comes equipped with an
HD-SDI interface terminal (SMPTE 292M
compliant) that allows for long-distance
transmission of high-quality HD images
without degrading the picture quality.
RS-232C Remote Control
(VISCA protocol)

All camera settings and pan/tilt/zoom
control functions can be performed
remotely at high communication speeds
via the RS-232C interface (VISCATM
protocol).
40x Zoom Ratio

(10x Optical + 4x Digital)
The fast and stable auto-focus zoom lens
on the EVI-HD1 has an impressive 40x
zoom ratio.
Wide-Viewing Angle (70 degrees)

The EVI-HD1 incorporates a newly
developed wide-angle lens for wide fieldof-
view image capture, a plus for small to
medium-sized conference rooms.
Six-Position Presets

The EVI-HD1 can store up to six preset
values for pan/tilt/zoom, focus position,
exposure mode, and white balance mode
and can even retain these settings when
the camera is shut off.
Multi-Function IR Remote
Commander Unit

The easy-to-use supplied
Remote CommanderTM unit
for the EVI-HD1 is useful
for basic settings and
pan/tilt/zoom camera
control.

The EVI-HD1 HD Color Video Camera employs a 1/3-type HD CMOS image sensor boasting two million effective pixels and can be used in combination with any number of codecs and other systems to produce high-quality, high-resolution images. The EVI-HD1 inherits many outstanding features from the
popular EVI-D100 PTZ camera and couples these with superb HD picture quality.

With its wide field of view, built-in 10x optical zoom lens, 16:9 aspect ratio image and high-speed, quiet pan/tilt operation, the EVI-HD1 can cover subjects across wide areas, with minimal disturbance.

Combining convenient features such as auto focus/auto exposure, 6-position presets, and external/remote control, the EVI-HD1 camera is ideal for applications such as videoconferencing, distance learning, and corporate training.
